Selection Of Genre

 Genre


We selected a fascinating genre that suits our narrative and creates enigma and satisfies what we want to create. The genre can be considered thriller, or more specifically, psychological thriller. A series of camera conventions, mise en scene, sound, and editing can help us establishing and conveying the genre.

Permission To Shoot

Image
  Since we had decided to use an underground parking rather than a bedroom, we needed permission to shoot.  We had decided to go shoot in the underground parking of The Centaurus Mall, a well known mall in F8, Islamabad.  We asked the help desk to give us the phone number of the mall authorities that we needed to talk to in order to get the permission to shoot. We then  asked our media studies teacher to first call them and discuss it with the marketing director, Mr. Kashif Butt.  I, along with Haseeb prepared a rough draft for the permission letter. We checked in with the school administration, and asked them to produce us an official letter. Haseeb met with Mr. Kashif Butt, and got the permission approved.  Here is a scanned copy of the formal permission letter.

Narrative (DID)

  We all agreed and decided on the DID narrative, and will work on it. The story revolves around a young man, named Ali.

Ali, a patient of split personality disorder, is sitting on a park bench, under a tree, holding a diary in his hands. The page has “You have to kill he...

 Costume Preparation Since our costumes include normal everyday clothes, informal attire. It is easily available. However, as costume designer, I intend to play with color psychology in a way that would enhance our mise-en-scene. Since in the first scene, Ali's good personality is active, so he will be dressed in a white shirt/sweater. This is the outfit inspiration from what Ali would wear in the second scene. This would reflect his dark state of mind and intentions.  For Sarah, I planned a dress. That would emphasize her feminine, kind nature. I want the dress to either be pink, as it represents innocence and femininity. Or a yellow dress, because yellow is a color that represents joy and happiness. Sarah was a happy, bright natured girl.
